Following the fuel price hike across the country by PM Modi-led BJP government, MNS chief Raj Thackeray's new cartoon has turned BJP chief Amit Shah and PM Narendra Modi into goons holding public at ransom.

Raj Thackeray made yet another cartoon in the wake of rising petrol prices by Modi-led BJP government ruling at the Centre. He presented a sharp critique through a simple cartoon of PM Narendra Modi and BJP President Amit Shah.

The new cartoon shows a clever take on the recent fuel price hike as it shows Prime Minister Narendra Modi holding a petrol dispenser with furious expressions pointing it like a gun at the scared passengers sitting in the car. It shows him holding public at ransom as party president Amit Shah looks on calmly.

The theme of this cartoon is central to the problem of raging petrol and diesel prices across the country. In Delhi, petrol price rose to Rs 80.50 per litre while Diesel rate touched its highest ever at Rs 72.61 a litre. On Sunday, the BJP government raised the prices of petrol by 12 paise per litre and the price of diesel by 10 paise per litre.

"To protest against the skyrocketing prices of petrol and diesel, the Maharashtra Navnirman Sena extends its full-fledged support to the Bharat Bandh declared on 10th September 2018," MNS chief Raj Thackeray had earlier said in a tweet. He also called the price hike a "miscalculation on part of the Central government".

Nationwide protests were also held against the depreciating Rupee against the US Dollar. A major cause of concern for the citizens of the country, the Opposition leaders also launched a shutdown protest or Bharat Bandh. This prompted several responses from BJP leaders.
